Template:External/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:External.

It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Template:External invokes function main in Module:Top icons using Lua.

The External template adds links to the RuneScape Wiki, RuneScape Classic Wiki, Meta, and Wikipedia beside the "Discussion" tab above an article's title. The links are not added to the mobile skin.

Usage

{{External|rs|rsc|meta|wp}}
{{External|rs=RSW page|rsc=RSCW page|wp=Wikipedia page|meta}}

If the page name on the other wiki is the same as on this wiki, use these as unnamed parameters:

To add a link to the RuneScape Wiki, use rs
To add a link to the RuneScape Classic Wiki, use rsc
To add a link to Wikipedia, use wp
To add a link to Meta Weird Gloop, use meta

If the page name on the other wiki is not the same as the page name on this wiki, use the above as named parameters, with the value being the correct name. These methods can be mixed. The order does not matter - the output order is always RS-RSC-WP-Meta.
